Mistakes were made! We can’t always bring you everything Pokemon related as it comes out, sometimes we forget, or we just didn’t even see it. This is a new PD segment, called Ketchup News, because Pikachu loves Ketchup and we are ‘ketching-up’ on missed news. “Ketchup News” covers everything we missed, if we found additional information, or just as a reminder of what Pokemon stuff we got have going on recently. Two new videos were released today via Pokemon’s Japan Youtube Channel.

Project Pokemon, a site well-known for its hacking of previous Pokemon games for programs such as Pokesav and PokeGen, have apparently mined and released stats for all the currently known Mega Evolutions and Primal Reversions, on top of a brand new one not yet released to the public.

But if you’re curious at all, hit the jump to find out for yourself the collection of images and information that we have on all new Mega Evolutions and Primal Reversions so far!Read more…

CoroCoro leaked some of the info that the trailer summarizes a few days ago, but the trailer greatly expands upon what we can expect in these awesome new features.

This brings our total number of generations represented by new evolutions up to five, including a Pokemon from every single gen except for the recent Generation VI. Hit the jump to learn what little we know currently about the rock-hard Steelix and the ice-cold Glalie, and I’ll be sure to update as we get more info.Read more…
